The graph of f(x)=x^2 was transformed to create the graph of g(x)=(x+5)^2.

Which statement describes this transformation?


a horizontal shift to the right 5 units

b horizontal shift to the left 5 units

c vertical shift up 25 units

d vertical shift down 25 units

Answer 1

b horizontal shift left 5

Explanation:

Whenever you have an equation in the form of (x+b)

It shifts b units to the left.

Whenever you have an equation in the form of (x-b)

It shifts b units to the right.

In this case, we have (x+5)^2

We don't have to worry about the squared term as it won't affect b.

So we just move 5 to the left.
